As an SEC Commissioner (2002-2008), Paul Atkins advocated for better transparency and consistency in the SEC’s decision-making and enforcement activities and smarter regulation that considers costs and benefits. In his current role as CEO of Patomak Partners, LLC, and member of the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum, advising on financial markets regulations and economic policy, Mr. Atkins will address how the administration’s proposed regulatory and economic policies will affect not only the issues he advocated for as SEC Commissioner but also the financial services industry compliance profession.

Cornerstone Research and the NYU Pollack Center for Law & Business cosponsored a one-day conference in New York on “Antitrust and Regulation in Financial Markets: Navigating New Challenges.” Panelists addressed recent and anticipated regulatory changes and the expanding litigation that continues to create challenges for financial institutions and their counsel.
